Influence More With Less Resistance!

Boost your INFLUENCE during your first 10 days in a new leadership role by dedicating sufficient time to building and nurturing internal relationships. Clearly, being an effective leader and achieving greater results is important to you, isn’t it?

No one will care as much about your career as you do! To climb the corporate ladder successfully, you need to implement enhanced leadership-building strategies.

By doing this, you’ll insert yourself into the inner workings of the company, making you irreplaceable.

Naturally, increasing your authority and credibility is critical to a leader, right?

I hold the unofficial record for most new roles as a young professional. This has allowed me to create and learn from a diversified, world-class global business experience. I’ve worked for numerous accounting firms and public companies, both large and small, from Miami, Fla.; to Houston, Texas; to Melbourne, Australia; back to Miami; and now Dallas, Texas. And I’ve been in departments from external audit, to internal audit, to external audit, to financial reporting, to controllership and back. I attribute much of my career success to my ability to build and maintain relationships.

I felt a tremendous buildup of excitement once I completed my most recent job search process. I was extremely eager to join a fast-growing global mobile payments company at the executive level for which I knew I had the perfect skills to make a profound and lasting impact. My first day was a whirlwind: meeting interesting new people, completing my onboarding activities, and being immediately given the responsibility to solve difficult and complex financial reporting problems with tight deadlines.

The leadership skills needed to drastically improve your career outlook include being authentic, optimistic, powerful, possess significant presence, make critical and decisive decisions, manage excessive stress, have elite communication and presentation skills, and the list goes on and on and on. Do you ultimately believe you are capable of great things or are you settling for the safe job? Maybe you want a bigger and more challenging career. Maybe your mind is too often consumed by doubt and fear.

Mastering critical leadership skills is challenging, and most certainly requires a tactical plan for aspiring leaders to follow. Have you been following a plan to help you get ahead at work?

One of my mentors that has helped me and provided the needed motivation to get more accomplished and be more productive is Tony Robbins. Recently, I revisited his book, Money Master the Game. Within one of the chapters he begins to discuss what goes into developing his programs to help people achieve massive transformations. What I found most profound, was that he said the only way a person can accomplish significant improvements in their life was to work on themselves first. That only through personal development can one break out of their pain and gain hope. He then goes on to clarify, it is one’s mindset that you must master first.

The following steps are a blueprint for helping professionals improve their leadership skills through Mastering Their Mindset in order to achieve peak performance at work.
